Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'nettle' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0300 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Remote crash in RSA decryption via manipulated ciphertext (CVE-2021-3580).

A flaw was found in Nettle in versions before 3.7.2, where several Nettle
signature verification functions (GHOST DSA, EDDSA & ECDSA) result in the
Elliptic Curve Cryptography point (ECC) multiply function being called with
out-of-range scalers, possibly resulting in incorrect results. This flaw
allows an attacker to force an invalid signature, causing an assertion
failure or possible validation (CVE-2021-20305).

The Mageia 8 nettle package has been updated to version 3.7.3 and the Mageia 7
nettle package has been patched to fix these issues.

Affected Software/OS:
'nettle' package(s) on Mageia 7, Mageia 8.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
